The Body Illustrated: A Guide for Occupants

Very informative and entertaining book. I wouldn't buy the earlier version without the pictures as the pictures are a big part of the appeal

Oh, wow! This book is amazing. So many facts about our bodies and written in such an easy to read way. You will learn so much and will find yourself wanting to read more and more. It’s a very big, heavy, book and you definitely get your money’s worth! I loved it, like I do all of Bill Bryson’s books.

Very well written with some great photos.

So interesting - all the bits that might be incoherent to those without medical knowledge are all so simply explained. And as for those people who made medical discoveries along the way, Bill Bryson tells you all about their personalities and idiosynchrasies as well as their work. And the politics and stuff as well. Brilliant photographs. The only downside is actually the weight of the book - it's not exactly light reading!

Very interesting book full of some incredible facts about the human body, written in Bill Bryson's easy reading style. It'll make you think about what is going on inside you and appreciate how amazing the body, and what makes it tick, is.

I really like Bill Bryson. He spins a great yarn based wonderfully researched facts from the most humble starting points. All his books are a joy to read. This is no exception. I am in the medical field and found this fascinating. So much colour is added to the ‘wow’ facts by hearing the history behind the discoveries about the human body.I would say be a great purchase and read !!

Great book but wasn’t protected in package so the cover is damaged and has black marks along the spine.

High paper quality with interesting illustrations.82 years in this body just finding out how it works !Lovely book easy to read.
